Xiom Blades with the best vibration / feedback

This user has no status.
Can anyone who has played with Viscaria/Timo Boll type blades (Xiom 36.5 ALXi, Hugo SAL/HAL, Ice Cream, An Jaehyun etc.) which one has the most vibraiton/feedback upon the ball contact? I have never played with any xiom blades so don't really know what to expect. I had timo boll ZLC and I want the same feeling with a little more vibration/feedback. Speed wise it doesn't really matter, it can be the same or slower.

butterfly blades have mostly more vibration then the higher class blades made in korea like xiom ALX, HAL, TMX or andro Synteliac VCO,ZCI, joola ZQH 90, 45….
you will be disappointed if you are looking for vibration. best known for that is Stiga Blades, but then only the ones made in Sweden and China and not those made in Korea.

but on ball feedback and build quality there great!

*i would first try to find lighter model of timo boll ZLC. the lighter ones have mostly more vibration, but can feel empty sometimes. try to find one around 80g. you will never get the same feeling with a different blade, that is the reason why people still buy viscaria even though there are 100+ clones of this exact model

Most ALC blades will damp vibration to some degree due to the nature and purpose of having an arylate layer. If you want some vibration but not too excessive, try the Sanwei Paramid. If you want all the vibration you can get, I have old school Butterfly Jonyer H I might be persuaded to part with, with enough conpensation :)

What about Zylon blades? Do you know?

From the list above, Ice cream has most vibration on the zlc side. Tmxi pro and tmx pro doesn't have too much of vibration from the Trimetrix layers.

I'm using 36.5 ALXi, and even tough it's an carbon blade, it does give a nice feedback, but way less than all wood blades.
